Comments on: TAM 5 Report #2: Where I talk to Adam Savage http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2007/01/22/tam-5-report-2-where-i-talk-to-adam-savage/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

Phil, I would like to thank you for being part of a group that is tempting me away from forestry and towards astronomy. 2. I am so thoroughly jealous at this point. I'd love to meet those guys. (Particularily Kari...) 3. Thanks again. 1. Phil, I would like to thank you for being part of a group that is tempting me away from forestry and towards astronomy.

I know what goes on there, but what is its purpose? Why was it started? What are you all skeptic about? And, by the way, congrats on meeting the awesomest person this side of the sun! :) Phil- What exactly is the Amazing Meeting? I know what goes on there, but what is its purpose? Why was it started?

I agree with DennyMo - "Mythbusters" is a great start, but it ain't always science. More than a few of their "plausible" rulings have left an unpleasant taste in my mouth, but they've got the self-correcting thing down pat, so there's hope! That said, I'm just a little starstruck at the very thought of rubbing geeky elbows with most of these folks, as I plan to attend the next TAM, come mud, flood, hell or high water! Phil, I unfortunately missed your talk in Seattle last month...any chance you'll be up this way again? Thanks for keeping up such a great blog...hurray for the skeptics and scientists keeping the candles lit and the demons away. Long-time lurker, first-time poster!

I posted all of Stick's post, but I had to split it up piece by piece to find the offending section. Then I had to add a line space in the first sentence to avoid the 404 error. So, those wanting to read Stick's post, start with the third post (immediately above this one), then read the second one, then the first. I have been having this trouble for quite a while, Phil.
